      The rise of Asia doesn't mean leading to the extinction of western countries. It just means the power of the West is substantially reduced, in relation to the Rest. Specifically, their sanction is no longer much relevant. Their medias are not much dominant. Their way of life is not much appreciated. Their opinions are simply among others' opinions in the world stage.

    I tend to agree with Prof. Kishore. The world is indeed a jungle, a sad realisation when one looks at drug trade, scamming, arms deals that can be traced all the way to the highest echelons of power - just to name a few. AND that's why we need diplomats.

    Kishore may now consider mentoring selected world leaders to help them make more sense of their role in shaping their national policy and international order.
    One such person would be Modi, the current Indian prime minister who needs to understand how to shape an inclusive India that will accept Muslim and Christian minorities as our very own... and Indian to the core.
    Without such mentoring hindu India is heading down a Hindu fascist path, which was weakly dented by the 2024 Lok Sabha elections by not allowing RSS-VHP-BJP fascists an unquestionable majority in the parliament.
    Hope to see Kishore Mahbubani in his next incarnation as the global personal mentor for world leaders or potential world leaders.

  • @Time4Peace
    @Time4Peace 11 днів тому +4

    Really Prof Koh, it's not the laws of the jungle? The primary law of the jungle is that might is right. Many would euphemistically call it realism or exceptionism.
    The Jungle King pushes its way through, law or no law, picks and chooses who to fight, tolerate no competitors, picks the laws to justify its action. And if the law still proves inconvenient, issues threats against anyone who dares to enforce it.
    And there's a pecking order too. Being closer to the Jungle King helps. Don't we all know who the Jungle King, the elephants, the foxes, the sheep and the buffalos of the jungle are?
    So why the diplomats? To convey the unwritten codes? For lower-tiered members to align among themselves or with others? As messengers of dictates?
    I am reminded of videos I watch how a lion mauled a buffalo while other buffalos looked on in fear. Once in a while, another buffalo would emerge from the herd to attack the lion, thus saving its fellow buffalo. I would like to think that Kishore too has that fighting spirit. The jungle is cruel place. Millions get killed, maimed or injured for not obeying dictates
    I am glad Kishore still holds on to his idealism instead of mellowing in pragmatism. That ego is his audacity to remind the Jungle King the need for peaceful coexistence. Without that, humanity, including any Jungle King, is doomed.
    We need more idealistic people like Kishore to be truth speakers.

I think will be nice after your book is launched for a year or so to have the panel back. Love that you start your podcast to discuss current affairs, foreign affairs and Geo politics, history etc. Many Singaporeans will benefit and I think will give you more inspirations and materials for your subsequent books.

    I love listening to Prof Kishore's view about the current affairs, the history, trends and geopolitical rivalry/ developments in our world today. His opinions, views, replies to questions from the press especially from the western channels, statistic data and predictions are just spot on. However, I do see most younger generation of Singaporean today is rather westernized to a great extend than before. Hence, the westernized = modernized mentality in which is eroding the past wisdom, neutrality, heritage and uniqueness like their late nation founder father, leaderships or the brilliant scholars like Prof Kishore Mahbubani we have today. Or am I wrong?

    It's hard to imagine that this is the Asian century when Asia still busy lifting itself out of her poverty or busy building weapons of warfare or busy creating conflicts with their neighbours. Besides the US and Europe are busy pulling the levers of their global hegemony, including depriving Asia and Africa of the resources of development through the Ukraine war. Encouraging and prophesising warfare on the Asian continent is the West's strategy to curtail the inevitable Asian century, which is still only a probability. India and China need a 'perestroika' like event in their relations to make the probability real.

    In the era of “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics”, Dr Goh’s essay might perhaps be retitled “Capitalism With Singaporean Characteristics”?

    While I am a fan of these 4 wisest men / woman, I'm not sure whether it's the best occasion for Prof Chan to raise the controversy of Kishore's past comment about small states acting as small states. It's inappropriate for Kishore to respond to it. Besides, it had been widely covered in the media.
    But for many viewers (like me) after some googling, I thought Kishore's lessons from Qatar are neither flawed nor muddled.
    To use the Laws of the Jungle mentioned by Prof Koh, if you are a goose in the jungle, don't act like a bear. Don't be seen as pairing up with the tiger against the lion or vice versa either. As Ambassador Ong said, practise prudence as a small state. By all means, be a smart fox to be useful to both the tiger and the lion but it should not be one against another, like what Qatar was doing.
    On this point, I wonder whether Singapore is now seen as pairing up with one side more than with the other. The media that I watch seem to suggest so, while Singapore at the same time subscribes to Asean's centrality and neutrality.
    Is Kishore's comment of prudence as a small state, in this case not seen as taking side relevant?

    If manufacturing consumables is it, I guess you are right, and it's China that is doing that. However, many countries can do so and are doing so to ensure security of supplies. I believev that real power and superpower comes from cutting edge technology products. Asia is just not up to it, but may be in the future if they can accept peaceful co-prosperity in their neighbourhood. However, I have my doubts as they are still in the civilisational mode, but the plus point is that the West is in the uncivilisational mode. An Asian century and superpowers that are constantly warring as did Europe before them, but none will survive their barbarism.

The Western mainstream media have so thoroughly dominated the media space, including Singapore's, pushing the pro-US narrative. Even Reuters, AP and AFP that Singapore's media depends much on carries a persistent anti-China undertone. These insidious falsehoods are what Kishore has been trying to debunk tirelessly.
